Books in FromÂ...To Series series

Boys and girls explore their emotions to understand them as a part of the growing-up process. This book talks about the different ways to love--pets, flowers, and most important, the other people in their lives. Kids also learn that they needn't be afraid of the dark when they're alone in bed at night. Sometimes they become angry at friend, or maybe ashamed if they've wet the bed--but they also learn that these are passing feelings experienced by all children. Feelings they can learn how to control or overcome. Boys and girls learn that good feelings are even better when they're shared with friends and loved ones. There are full-color illustrations on every page, and a two-page section of guidelines for parents at the back of the book.

Moms and dads quickly discover that very young kids are naturally curious about their bodies. Here's a cheerfully illustrated book that parents and kids can look at and read together. Its words and pictures present the human body in a way that will make sense to toddlers. They start by finding out that they began life inside their mom's belly. Next, they discover their legs, arms, and hands, for walking, running, and picking things up. Then they learn about their eyes for seeing light and color, their tongue for tasting the food they eat, their nose for smelling, and their skin and its sense of touch. Finally, they discover how the food they eat first goes to their stomachs, then nourishes their entire body.

Here's an exciting trip around the world, written and illustrated for boys and girls who are just beginning to learn about different people from different lands. Though millions of people live on our planet, each one of us is different and unique. Different kids have different color eyes, hair and skin, and they live in places that are each different from all other places. Boys and girls open this book to meet children in China, Alaska, and Japan. They meet a little boy from Yugoslavia who was injured in the recent war, and a little girl in Namibia, Africa, who travels from place to place with her nomadic family. Another little girl lives in Venice, where all streets are canals. A boy named Guaracu lives with his tribe in the dense, rich Amazon jungle of South America. Young readers discover that although kids around the world are different, they all like many of the same things—for instance, playing and having fun with family and friends. The color illustrations on every page help bring the lifestyles fully alive, showing how kids around the world are very different, yet also very much alike. A two-page section at the back of this charming book offers guidelines and discussion points for parents and teachers.
